GameChange Unveils Breakthrough Non-Ballasted Roof-Mounting Technology

NEW YORK, NY | GAMECHANGE — GameChange Racking has launched a significant breakthrough in non-ballasted roof racking, which allows zero ballast on many roofs, and handles the most severe seismic load conditions. Woo Kim, Director of Engineering at GameChange Racking, stated: “We started with a strong galvanized steel alloy grid which locks the modules into one rigid plane. This allows us to take account for many more modules that can share the wind uplift loads and lateral seismic loads. We then developed a wind deflector technology to generate the lowest uplift forces possible. This combination gives the non-penetrating GameChange Grid-Lite™ […]

GameChange Racking has launched a significant breakthrough in non-ballasted roof racking, which allows zero ballast on many roofs, and handles the most severe seismic load conditions.

Woo Kim, Director of Engineering at GameChange Racking, stated:

“We started with a strong galvanized steel alloy grid which locks the modules into one rigid plane. This allows us to take account for many more modules that can share the wind uplift loads and lateral seismic loads.

We then developed a wind deflector technology to generate the lowest uplift forces possible.

This combination gives the non-penetrating GameChange Grid-Lite™ zero ballast on many typical installations, and allows deployment with minimal ballast on even the toughest wind load situations.

It also meets the highest seismic zone loading requirements, making it the ideal choice for areas such as Southern California.”
